Well guys, it is finally here. I have been waiting for this moment since last September or at least since the NBA decided to play all sorts of games with their injury and lineup announcements. Daily fantasy baseball is back and we have a terrific slate of games to get it going on Monday. With 28 teams in action there is no shortage of options and just about every price point. But fear not my friends, I've been researching these players and games for over a month now and feel very confident that I have selected a great group to base lineups on here in day one of the 2015 season.
For those that are new to the DFS MLB Playbook, for starters WELCOME! If you want to know how exactly we come up with the players we choose for the Playbook each day feel free to read this complete breakdown of what goes into the DFS MLB Playbook. If you are reading this on Easter Sunday please let me just say that God would be very proud of you and your dedication to DFS. Also, this is literally the tip of the iceberg here folks. If you thought the DFS MLB Playbook was good, just hold your pants on until we unveil the DFS MLB Playbook PRO later on this week.
